EVIDENCE BASED TRADING – Dr. James C Krider

May 26, 2017.

Our portfolio rotation into long calls and eliminating all current stock positions has paid off handsomely. The portfolio has surged back to nearly 20% YTD putting us on track for a 40% annualized return in 2017.

Dr. James Krider creates a monthly stock lists consisting of quality momentum stocks with associated weekly options. A stop loss and maximum position size is calculated for each stock. ALL trades are entered and managed with options. For stocks we want to control we purchase a CALL at or near the stop loss with an expiration of 3 months. Our excess cash is put to work selling PUTs for income on a one to two-week basis with a minimum annualized gain of 20%. To view the current portfolios, go to Dr. Krider’s momentum stock universe.

To follow all actual and pending trades, subscribe to our premium service. If you would like Dr. Krider to manage your account simultaneously with his own call 760-242-1234.

MARKET REVIEW

Three-month chart: The 3-month remains flat. The current regression channel, blue, is increasing and the MA60 is 10 degrees. The rate-of-change (ROC) is 1.44% (momentum = 9%) and the RSquared is improving, but still not significant at 0.27.

One-month chart: The current regression channel is increasing relative to last week’s channel. The RSquared is 0.115 (statistical significance is 0.8) and the ROC is 1.52% (momentum = 3%). The MA20 is 24.

Technical analysis is bullish for all time frames.

Overall: We are back in a bullish technical market with raising rate of change and RSquared.

NEXT WEEKS PLAN

I am already in most of the CALL positions I want at this point. I will be creating June’s momentum list and will add any new momentum stocks. Otherwise, I will continue to sell weekly PUT positions.

The premium service has all my option trades that you can follow in real time. Dr. Krider is also available to personally manage your portfolio, call 760-242-1234 for more information.
